tion, cyanidation and flotation. For an ore with coarse gold, gold is often recovered by gravity and flotation, followed by cyanidation of the reground flotation concentrate. In. 17.6 Flotation of Carbonaceous Clay-Containing Gold Ores 5 some cases, flotation is also conducted on the cyanidation tailing. The reagent combina
The flotation result yielded a mass of 2.4% with 10.5% of the gold – giving a combined overall gravity/flotation gold recovery of 92.9% into 11.4% of the feed mass. The combined gravity/flotation concentrate gave a intensive cyanidation gold recovery to solution of 92.9% after 8 hours and 95.9% after 24 hours.
In this work, different flotation–preoxidation–cyanidation methods are considered for treating a low-grade refractory gold ore. On the one hand, the results of selective flotation show that 22% and 31.1% of total Sb and As, respectively, remained in the final tailings and only about 28% of the total Au remained for further cyanidation …
The Knelson concentrator and conventional flotation were employed for the recovery of gold. Gold bearing ore samples were taken from Gümüşhane Region, northern east part of Turkey. As a result of stepwise Knelson concentration experiments, a gold concentrate assaying around 620 g/t is produced with 41.4wt% recovery. On the other …
This experience showed that carrying out flotation in an acidic environment led to an increase in concentrate yield by 1.76% and gold recovery into flotation …
With a telluride-type gold ore flotation concentrate as the research object, the Na 2 S + NaOH collaborative leaching process was applied to selectively separate tellurium before the cyanide leaching of gold and silver. The effects of process parameters including the type of leaching agent, the amount of leaching agent, liquid-solid ratio, …
Abstract The flowchart is developed for gold ore flotation at the reduced impurity of the rougher flotation product with difficult middlings. The rougher flotation concentrate is subjected to scavenging by aerated air and hot steam mixture. In cold pulp slurry, the steam condensation heat is removed from bubbles to wetting films. With …
